Innovation, Research and Technology

The Red Duke Trauma Institute, in collaboration with the McGovern Medical School at UTHealth, is at the forefront of trauma care research, with more than $52 million in grants, and is a leader in innovation and incorporation of the latest technology, including:

Portable CT Scanner

Imaging available within the Emergency Department to improve efficiency

The Center for Translational Injury Research (CeTIR) is behind much of this research, with the goal of leading in the research and development of next-generation medical technologies related to hemostasis, resuscitation, and computerized decision support for trauma patients. The need for translating trauma research from the bench to the bed side is as great a priority and CeTIR is in a unique position to link basic science research to clinical practice.
